About the Big Press Conference

Ends: Dec 21, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
Canceled in 2022 due to war. Generally confirmed in the 3rd quarter each year. The Big Press Conference has been held 17 times as of 2021, and is one of the rare occasions in which President Putin takes questions from the press. The event typically lasts several hours each year. It is watched not only in Russia, but throughout the world by leaders, politicians, diplomats, journalists and engaged audiences.
Russia is the largest country in the world by land mass, nearly twice as big as the United States (including Alaska), and Canada, which comes in at #2, even after the break-up of the Soviet Union. From an empire ruled by tsars, to an authoritarian dictatorship under communism, and finally to a fledgling democracy hampered by corruption and crumbling infrastructure, Russia ended the 20th Century with political whiplash, a vacancy in power and an uncertain future.
It was in this atmosphere, at the turn of the 21st Century, (December 31, 1999) that a shrewd, calculating former KGB intelligence officer and one of three First Deputy Prime Ministers, would seized the reigns of power through the appointment of the former President, Yeltsin and elections. Vladimir Putin would hold power through changing the laws, strategy, calculated intelligence and astute politicking, on par with the canny of a world class chess player.
Putin sees himself as the father of the Russian people, their protector, leader and their representative. The annual Big Press Conference is his version of a town hall - meet the press - throne room, where he solves local issues, positions the nation on the world stage and engages with the people through the press once a year. It is carefully orchestrated to promote his image, his vision, his policies and to project the strength of the Russian nation to both allies and adversaries. Each year the archive is available on the Kremlin site in English and Russian.
